There can be many shades to loneliness -- not all are created equal.

Just don't rush into anything you may later regret.

[heartlessglitch]

Your concern is appreciated but unnecessary, Dr. Gideon.
I have experienced a significant degree of regret relative to relationships already.

[enabeled]

Never unnecessary, Danger -- in fact, precisely my point. Not everyone is built for traditional relationships. Nothing wrong with that.

[heartlessglitch]

I am uncertain why I feel that it implies a form of dysfunction or error if I accept the idea I am romantically incompatible with other sentient beings.

Society runs itself on the notion, that people are meant to be together. Just isn't true. In a world as varied as ours, what works for one person isn't necessarily meant to work for the next.

So since neither of us have plans, maybe you wouldn't be adverse to making some with me.

[heartlessglitch]

[ she pauses slightly, surprised maybe-- or considering. ]

I would be willing to make plans with you, yes.
What precisely would these plans entail, Doctor?

[enabeled]

I'd hate to spoil any surprise, Danger.

Don't worry. We'll enjoy ourselves.

[heartlessglitch]

[ surprises. unsure... ]

If you insist.
I will put my trust in you, Dr. Gideon.

[ There's a pause before he continues. ]

A choice you won't regret. I'll see to that.

[heartlessglitch]

[ a little beat on her end too before she asks at length: ]

Will you require anything from me?

[enabeled]

Only whatever you'd like to bring along. I may be somewhat impulsive when it comes to planning, but I'm nothing if not also flexible.

[heartlessglitch]

Acknowledged.

[ a beat ]

I look forward to meeting with you, Doctor.
